Congrats to Emma, I think Leylah was just too tired from her 4 previous games beating all the top players in 3 sets. Her serving was poor today and was a big contributor to her loss.
Emma is actually born in Toronto and Leylah in Montreal so in a way 2 Canadians in the finals.
Hey Captain Teague, who are you referring to about the British player? I don't follow tennis too much but I think a lot of Canada was watching this match. Canadian women have been doing well this year in sports, women winning Olympic gold in soccer and our women's hockey team winning gold in the World Championships last month.
Hopefully Emma and Leylah have long successful careers!

Nice for us English to have a new tennis sporting hero.
I'm sure another British tennis player was wearing his Canadian shirt tonight. I really hope he was p*ssed off with Emma's win.

I was all prepared to just hear the commentary on the radio about 9pm, and pleasantly surprised to see it was on Channel 4 here in UK.
As well as being born in Canada and having a Chinese mother and Romanian father, I would like to think that she calls England her home.
Like all the media and player's commenting, she has got it all,and she definitely deserves all the accolades from youngsters at her former school and local tennis club,to the Queen,who sent her a nice letter.
Mustn't forget another British tennis player, Joe Salisbury,who with his tennis partner's won both the Men's Doubles and the Mixed Doubles in the US Open.

Crawdaddy, she’s 100% British. She spent five minutes in Canada, before moving here. Her ‘ethnic background’ isn’t from these isles, but her citizenship is British. It’s her homeland. Hear her accent!

I hadn't watched any of the US Open matches but decided last night to watch this one and am so glad I did. I can't remember when I last saw such a thrilling women's tennis match from start to finish, with some amazing play from both players. The two of them were fantastic, though of course I was rooting for my fellow Brit
Never mind the tennis, Emma Raducanu seems to have such a lovely bubbly personality with a big laughing smile to match. Let's hope she retains that down-to-earthness as she scales the heights of fame and fortune. Go, Emma!!
